'...'
Surprisingly, Haylee's statement evoked little emotion from Cyneah. She was puzzled by her sense that Haylee's words felt more like a confirmation than a revelation.
'No...'
That was not quite right.
Somewhere deep down, Cyneah questioned True Void's existence after meeting an Ancient survivor. They could absorb magic energies, adapt to their properties, and use them naturally.
The Ancient's ability to absorb magic energies was the first to catch Cyneah's curiosity because it was similar to True Void. However, she dismissed it almost immediately because the latter was technically made from Void. Thus, absorbing magic energies and adapting to them should be expected. That was part of the Void's nature, after all.
Or, at least, that was what Cyneah was made to believe.
You may be confused about when Cyneah and Kyran had the conversation mentioned in the previous chapters, including this one. Those convos are mostly 'off-screen' conversations.
I understood myself well, and I'm sure most of you are also tired of it, but I tend to write a lot of discussion chapters (talk-no-jutsu), and those chapters could go on for so long.
Anyway, I decided to reduce those types of chapters from now on.
Err... this one is an exemption since it is necessary.
